Today whilst driving my ambulance at work, i let out a very nice silver Audi estate from a side road in very heavy, very slow moving traffic.
The driver raised his hand in thanks and proceeded to creep out in front of me. I then started to beep my horn (in a non aggressive manner) at him to get his attention and pointed to his car ! The driver then got out of his vehicle, leaving his drivers door open and approached my ambulance like a man possessed ! he walked right up to my window and said " what is your fu#@$ng problem, i said fu#$@ng thank you ! What more do you want ?"
I started to laugh and he said , "are you fuc$#@ng laughing at me ? "
I said no Sir, I'm informing you that there is a laptop computer on your roof ! With that , he looked back at his car to find that there was indeed a laptop on his roof, jammed underneath the silver/chrome roof rails running down the length of his vehicle ( this must of saved his device from sliding off on to the road ?)
He then realised he had made a massive boo boo and repeatedly said sorry, he then explained how it happened.
It transpired that he come out of his house round the corner, carrying a travel mug full of coffee and his laptop, he placed the laptop on the roof so he had one free hand to open the drivers door , he then placed the mug into the cup holder inside his car, he then shut the door forgetting about the laptop on the roof and simply drove off down the street , where I let him in , in front of me .
This gentleman had to eat a vast quantity of humble pie today.
His actions really made me chuckle and cheared me up a great deal indeed !
The morale of this scenario is , always look before you leap !
